FC Barcelona secured a 1-0 victory over Osasuna at the Estadio Olimpico.

The highlight of the game was Brazilian forward Vitor Roque scoring his first goal for Barcelona just 68 seconds after coming onto the field.

This match was particularly significant as it was the first game since Xavi, the team’s manager, announced he would be stepping down at the end of the season.

Despite Barcelona’s overall dominance in possession and a more aggressive attacking approach, the game was tense, with Osasuna posing a challenge even when reduced to ten men. The win helped Barcelona close the gap on La Liga leaders Girona to eight points​.
